Hard Top Lifter Installation | Install Smart Track
Step 1: Install Smart Track (cont.)
6. Place the Smart Track over the center mark you made for the ceiling joist and use a
pencil to mark where the lag bolts will be installed so you can drill the pilot holes.
Be sure the markings are along the center of the ceiling joist.
7. Using the included 6mm drill bit, drill the first vertical pilot hole at least three inches
into the center point of the mark you made.
8. Use a rachet with a 1/2 inch socket to attach the Smart Track to the ceiling using
one of the included lag bolts and washers. Do not completely tighten the lag bolt at
this point. NOTE: If the lag bolt turns freely, your pilot hole is likely not hitting the
ceiling joist. If this is the case, find the center of the stud and drill a new pilot hole.
9. Repeat steps 4-6 to find the center of the joist where you will secure the other end
of the Smart Track.
10. Tighten both lag bolts so the Smart Track is flush and secure against the ceiling.
11. Repeat the above steps for each remaining Smart Track that needs to be installed.
12. Before moving to the next step be sure the lag bolts for all Smart Track are
tightened and secure against the ceiling.
CAUTION
Do NOT use an impact driver to insert the lag bolts into the stud. This could over tighten the screws causing them
to fail, which may result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
